How to Fill Out Your Address using GS1 US Data Hub (not import spreadsheet)

Note: If using the Import Spreadsheet, please refer to How to Import Locations. 

1. Select Your Country: Start by selecting your Country from the dropdown menu.
2. Enter Address: Begin typing your address in the "Address Line 1" field. The system will suggest addresses based on the USPS database.
3. Choose Address: Select the correct address from the suggestions. The address will then be displayed. If the GLN Type is "Fixed Physical," and the address already exists for a GLN in GS1 US Data Hub, you can distinguish the address by adding details in Address Line 2 and  Address Line 3 (such as "Suite 100" and "Storeroom #2").
4. Manual Entry: If your address is not listed among the suggestions, you can enter it manually. Note: You may receive a notification stating, "Unverified Address: This street address is not a USPS Verified Address," indicating the entered address is not in the USPS database. This may occur if your address is a new construction or was recently renamed.
